Food Supplements for Pregnancy

Congratulations on your pregnancy! So much is happening in your body right now. It's incredibly exciting. Here are some tips on the best food supplements to take when you're pregnant.

A lot to think about

Have you started to feel those tiny little flutters or even outright kicks in your belly yet? It's a surreal feeling, knowing a new life is taking shape inside you. Your hormones are on a rollercoaster, and all the while, life goes on as usual—work, cleaning, deciding what to have for dinner, planning for a cot and pram, and thinking about childbirth and life as a parent.

Diet plays a role

Simply put, there's a lot to consider. And if there's ever a time in life to be extra careful about what you eat, it's now. You need the best fuel for both you and your baby. You are closely connected via the umbilical cord, which runs from the placenta. This means that what you consume goes directly to the foetus.

Important supplements during pregnancy

Questions like: What do I want to eat? What am I allowed to eat? What should I eat? What should I absolutely not eat or drink? These are all completely normal. And when it comes to food supplements, it can feel like a jungle, but we have several different supplements that can be beneficial for you during pregnancy. Among them is Multi Gravid, a multivitamin specially formulated based on Nordic nutritional recommendations for the needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women. It contains a whole range of vitamins and minerals that you might need a little extra of right now. Another excellent supplement is Omega 3, which contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus. It's also perfect for vegans, as our Omega 3 is sourced from microalgae grown on land, ensuring it is free from potential heavy metals and other unwanted substances. And last but not least, Dophilus 15. Since the baby inherits the mother's gut flora during birth, it can be beneficial to supplement with good bacteria during pregnancy.

Tips for you during pregnancy

• Eat a varied diet.
• Be extra mindful of your recovery and rest when you feel tired.
• Exercise regularly, for example, by taking daily walks.
• Avoid alcohol and nicotine, and consume caffeine in moderation.

Another important tip along the way: remember to try and enjoy this time. And above all, embrace the calm. Take care of yourself.
